The Press Release

So its finally been finalised. Although everyone including me, has been expecting it since 09 feb, i was still very nervous upon seeing the press release. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster, and my legs jelly-er and jelly-er, my mind getting more and more distracted. I started to make stupid mistakes at work, I started to do things at a much slower pace. The world almost turned upside down. I was chatting with Eliza and Zj and according to them, we somewhat felt similar. Did we?

Mr Chong msged me and said that results are usually released slightly earlier than proposed timing. But so what? I'm not going to collect them until at least after 4pm. I have totally lost confidence in myself and I couldnt care less abt the probability of going on stage and the chance to meet my cg-mates. I'm not trying to mean anything other than the fact that I'm scared of the day and I cant accept reality. Thats it.

The company dinner's on 01 Mar and the NMS tea session's on 03 Mar. Why must such a terrible day be sandwiched between 2 days that I'm looking forward to? Sigh.

3rd Day of CNY

This day we had more freedom. We (Me and Mum) always go to the airport and we did too, this year! As compared to last yr, the CNY deco were cut down to a very large extent. Why, cut cost is it? We spent most of the time walking around,sitting down and chatting, eating, sky-training. It was quite rush cos we left house late and we were supposed to reach Auntie's house by 4.30pm. It was supposed to be a visiting trip. As usual, we were late cos we were busy shopping at White Sands and we were conned by stupid bus 358, and Dad waited for us for quite some time. Haha. So we had dinner at her place and she did manicure and pedicure for me after that. It was quite paiseh for her to do those stuff for me, but well, since she insisted...Anyway,i didnt like the dinner at all. Nothing suits my appetite, esp a pig feast, err...

They drove us home and we reached home at 8pm.

2nd day of CNY

Usually this day's reserved for movie watching, but its not the case this year. I woke up at 8.30am, in preparation for our Sentosa trip. Hitched a ride to Boon Keng MRT Station. When we reached Vivo, we were so surprised to see the long queue of Bangladesh. No discrimination here, but the hundreds of pple whom we saw were all Bangladesh. I thot there would be more Chinese. We were conned into walking in, instead of taking any transport. But fortunately, the weather was simply so windy and fine, we had no comments. $3 per pax.

We reached the island at 12.20pm and we took the Blue Line bus to Imbiah Lookout. Just as we alighted from the bus, its tarted to rain. Heavily for abt 45min. 2 umbrellas, 2 pairs of new shoes, 3 of us. We didnt want to risk getting drenched or getting our heels soaked with water, so we seeked shelter at the bus stop. We started our journey towards the flowers when the downpour turned into a drizzle. Rain or no rain, didnt stop me from taking lots and lots of photos. One thing I noticed was that the Bangladesh loved to take pictures with me. They didnt mind having me in their pictures thou I minded-cos they simply refused to let me have my picture taken. Alone. Without extras. Haha. Saw Weijie amongst the flowers. Singapore shouldnt be that small right?

We went up the escalator to our fave "hideout" near the SkyTower and had lunch. I so happened to recall sth called Luge Ride in Sentosa, so we went to have a Singapore version experience. $8 per pax. It was fun, but as compared to NZ's one, it seems to be a much shorter distance. It took me less than 5min to complete the whole route of 650m. But it was still exciting. The skyride was fantastically high. I found it much higher than the NZ's one, but Mum disagreed. Nvm, not impt.

Following that was bus rides (to Siloso beach), tram rides (from Siloso beach), Sentosa Express Rides and lastly MRT Train ride. Back in Vivo, we were all shocked to see the super duper long queue of locals waiting for the monorail service. We felt so relieved thatwe walked in in the aftn, instead of waited for the service. I believe the waiting time would cost us at least 1hr. No joke abt that.

The funnest part of the day was the Luge Ride. It brings back lots of wonderful NZ memories. And the many photos taken. It was a happy day!

1st day of CNY

Lets rejoice to my 100th post being posted on the 1st day of the Piggy Year. Slept at 2.45am (busy sms-ing, taking photos, eating, laughing, chatting) and woke up at 7.30am just today. Early?

Anyway, I know it doesnt sound too nice, but its a pity that I have to conclude: Not a fruitful yr as compared to last yr in terms of hongbaos collected cos 2nd sis and I seemed to appear transparent to some uncles, not a fruitful day as well cos we didnt do much today either. We visited the usual families and plus a change in plan from River Hongbao to watching movie at Century Sq. We all hate lame local productions, and since I couldnt risk watching gruesome movies on 1st day of CNY, we settled for Iron Lady Chef-starring Hacken Lee and Charmaine Sheh. Not too bad a movie, except that there were only the 4 of us and a pathetic guy eating Nachos in the whole cinema. Free-seating. Halfway thru, pple actually dozed off. Not me, of cos. But its all ok.



(Dad was the photographer)

Lunch was McDonalds-Longevity & Fillet-O-Fish meals.


Dinner was simple yet well-cooked (by Mum of cos), with 1st Sis and KH joining us.



Happy Chinese New Year!!!

NTU Admission Talks

The funnest and happiest things that happened today werent the contents of the talks,but the jokes that me and ZJ cracked. I didnt know that reminiscing of the Sec Sch days when we saw our Sec Sch friends (who changed quite a bit-but not neessarily for the better) was so fun. Esp when we talked abt some pple like MB, ZJ's-was-friend, ZJ's-was-friend's-was-friend, and how we created new words in the Eng dictionary. And some molestation took place on the train too. Haha, poor guy.

Early in the morning I saw duckling. And I was puzzled by the way and speed she walked. and her attitude was funny too. Meeting pple w/o letting the very pple know. Weirdo. And we saw many many pple at Suntec too.

Regarding the talks, I attended 4, 2 standing and 2 sitting. Materials Eng, Biomolecular & Chemical Eng, Bio Chem and EEE. I only had the honour of sitting with ZJ during the EEE talk and thats when our jokes started. First it was on the Prof, then on the PUB Uncle, PUB Daughter and the Publicity guy. But seriously, even after I have attended all 4 talks, I'm still quite uncertain as to what to take, but EEE's definitely out. My purpose in attending the talk was to accompany ZJ and to hear what 1st sis took years ago. Haha. So its among the 1st three. But no worries, still got time, shall wait for the results then I decide. In the 1st place, which University am I going?

Class Reunion

Ok, tonite was the long awaited class reunion. Iwas late, and I had to rush up to Robinsons, RafflesCity to check out sth from IPSA. My other task was to buy some rubber for the new sofa from DIY Shop.

Things were messy initially, cos that stupid Pizza Hut was having such along queue and my hp batt was flatter than flat. Pple keep calling to tell me the place was so packed, but the thing was i have already left my name and number with that outlet this aftn. It wasnt really my fault that they didnt call me to tell me if there were any empty tables but i felt bad cos I was the organiser and things werent smooth. But anyway, So there were much fuss over where to eat and in the end, we settled for Breeks. I called that Pizza Hut outlet and gave them a good dressing down. I wasnt being unreasonable, but I have to be held accountable for 18 other pples' dinners. And just when I was feeling quite mixed, my food arrived last and pple around me were either in the middle of their dinner, or almost finishing. Luckily I couldnt finish the pasta, so I caught up with them. Haha. In the end, the bill for our tableof 5 was $53.70. Still ok lah.

After the meal and photo-taking, very good, where to go next? XH and I suggested going up Esplanade and just chat and the guys decided they'd rather go home. So when we decided to go home, they were like: HUH, thats all? Quite confused too. Andby the way, its quite fun to get squashed up in the train. The train almost closed the doors on me, Lynn and Lela. So I pushed CT ans QP into the train at the very last moment. Haha. We had a nice chat on board.

I guess all ended up well cos the turnout was good (19 out of 23) and we got to eat together too. But for me, I had quite a bit of exercise-running to and fro City Hall MRT Station and Robinsons, and from City Hall to Marina Sq and from Breeks to Homefix and back. In heels. Haha.

Now that I'm back home, first thing I did was to charge my hp.

DSTA Assessment

The 1st round of DSTA Scholarship selection was an interview, that was far too generic. The 2nd round was a 3h assessment (centre) consisting of 3 parts-online analysis assessment, scenario role-play and presentation. The presentation was the on-the-spot kind, where you picked a qns and use 1 min to prepare for the qns. The rest was so tough. And the place was freeezing cold.

PUB/PSS 2

As I have always said, Sundays are fruitful. Today's special cos its the busiest Sunday of the year so far and it begins from 8am to 2am of the next day.

Part I
PUB Scholarship Talk. Nothing special actually, just the usual stuff-theperks,the current projects, and just that they keep making us eat and eat. We toured the NEWater Centre @ Tanah Merah/Bedok and went on tolisten to some boring talks. The content was so dry and boring. Then-the boat ride! It was rather ok, if only the captain had increased the speed. The PUB guy was still afraid that pple would be seasick-come on, if you drive at the speed of some slow-boat, you will probably fall asleep more than getting sick. The main objective of the ride was to show us the Marina Barrage, but I ended up looking at the CBD and the upcoming NDP Performance floating platform and spectator seats instead. Funny thing was that the PUB guy keep on urging us toconsider PUB Scholarship-felt like asking him, why not the other way round? They award only 10 scholarships per year,out of 500+ aplications. Who's considering who?

Transition
I reached home at 4.40pm, ate a bowl of noodles (my dinner), changed into a blue shirt and off I went to meet Chie Ling at Kallang. But I was very late cos themoment I left house, I realised I forgot to bring a sweater. I went back to take one and left again. Then I realised I forgot to bring a plastic bag, so I went back and took one. I left again and only to realise I forgot mywatch. So I made the 3rd trip back and of cos, naturally, I was late. Haha.

Part 2
Project Superstar 2 Finals @ Indoor Stadium. My first time watching a concert there. Got 4 tix from Arthur (cos his nephew's Cai Weijian) and I sat with Chie ling at Row 4, seats 10 & 11. Lynn and XH sat at Row 7. My goodness, we were so so so near the contestants and hosts!
Throughout the concert, it was very noisy and loud. During the commercial breaks, all the stars went backstage and the hosts just walked around. The superhosts led the fans in saying the cheers and we, being the pple at the side, were less 'high'. Haha. The stars were superb, I must say, their voice being so loud and powerful (credit goes to the vol of the mic as well) and the atmosphere was great. Too bad, I didn't bring my camera. By the way, I still don't like Dawn Yip. Stupid Host.

Towards the end when the other 11 male contestants performed, I was super excited in seeing Lesheng and Cai Weijian.I was waving to the latter like crazy, yet another male contestant behind him thought I was waving to him, waved back at me instead. He still did some funny actions like pointing to me and putting his hands on his heart, as if accepting my support and love. Joker. I didn't even know his name. But now I know. His name's Jeff. Not wanting to break his heart, I just smiled. I loved the part where all the confetti dropped down best-its as if it was snowing. I was covered with the confetti lol.

Got a goodie bag with a notepad and a box of Hoyu hair dye-some brown-red colour. As if I'd ever use it. Must be those colours that had poor sales.

So who did i see? The superstars, camous superstars, super hosts, judges, hosts, plus Patricia Mok, Pornsak and Junli.

Ending
I reached home at 12 plus and had a mini dinner part 2. Overall, thou late, it was fun and worthwhile, afterall such chances don't come often. and i got to meet up with Chie Ling.

another Sunday...

Once again, a fruitful Sunday. Got a 3-quarter pants for CNY and this shall mark the 1st year of not-wearing-skirt during CNY. Heh. But i don't really like today, cos a Hungarian is an Angarian, and I was being made a Hungarian for almost 3-quarter of a day today. So naturally, I was an Angarian. And I hated it when dad starts shifting furniture abt just cos he wanted to wipe this ceiling or that wall. Who cares abt walls/ceilings getting dusty? Nobody's coming to our house anyway. And even if there is (which has a probability of 0), you think pple will stick out a finger and start touching here and there, up and down, testing how thick a layer of dust in mint collection you have managed to get? What a bother.

Saw Karen at TMall this aftn. Haha, cant help laughing when she couldn't find her family members after stopping a while to chat with me. :)

So happened to stumble upon Alfred Aldehyde's blog. I felt so disgusted after reading some of his entries. How is it possible that there exists a person who brags abt how rich/capable he is, without feeling his face turning red? Perhaps his mum didn't force him to eat humble pies. Or perhaps she didn't even know the recipe. Haha. And of cos, I don't see how proud it is to be exempted from normal NS duties and to be just an admin clerk. Can't he see that he would be considered lesser than his peers who went to some Tekong or dunno-wat camps, in future? Maybe he's too rich to work.

I think Guai Gia #01 will be reading my blog-finally, so I shan't say bad things abt her. Haha, no lah, nth bad abt her to talk too. Happy that she found a job that could entitle her free Internet use...so can chat online while we're working. But seriously, I think she's a worker who's being exploited. Haha, as if her pri sch is a MNC like that. Happy working gal, don't be too stressed ah!


By the way, anyone bought any CNY goodies? I haven't leh...

Mission accomplished

Mission accomplished! Instead of buying a pair of heels, I ended up buying 3 pairs, of which 1 pair's for mum. Went down to Bugis OG. There were lots of shoes there, but I just couldnt find any pair that I liked. No affinity, I should say. Headed to Bedok and found the Mr Right. Shoes, i meant. Nice and tall, very cheap as well, haha. Yeah.

Next on the CNY hunting list would be the skirt and the earrings.

stupid mistakes

Had the longest conversation with 2 colleagues today-Arthur and Mr dunno-who. Heh. I even knew more abt the Big M thru one of the conversations. Somehow maybe I'm still too naive or simply dumb, I made 2 stupid mistakes in my conversations. Not really mistakes, but it just made me feel like slapping myself after the words came out of my mouth. Sigh. Talk abt work, today i almost had nth to do, and yest i almost had too much to do. Whats up? I was surfing the net half the time. And it was a pity my parents didn't want the free JetStar air tix. :( Oh, I also uncovered a pin-hole camera in my office, right behind my desk. Sneaky huh!

Arthur asked if I wanted to go watch PSS2 Fianls cos he may have free tix, cos his nephew was one of the contestants-Cai Weijian! My goodness, one of the few whom I have supported. The others were Lesheng and Charlotte (or was that Michelle?). Though its really unlike me to watch such stuff, but I thot thats a rare chance, why not? Anyway, he may not get the tix afterall.

Tmr is my shoes mission. Hope to get a pair of new heels. Hopefully I may happen to spot some nice skirts too. Haha.

Horrible day?

The horriblest day of the year. Slippers spoilt. Cut my hand. Had a horrible scare. Had work to do from Sam and Arthur. Whats up? Long story. Slippers spoilt, couldn't walk. All the tools that could help was tried, but it still came out. OK Glue, Scotchtape, Big stapler. Useless. I walked barefooted for abt thrice cos my slippers gave way when I halfway up the stairs. The best way out was to take off my slippers. That stupid slipper made me cut my hand. But I 'earned' an early ride home. Haha.

Had a great scare by Sam. He told me to chaneg the company logo on his 52 ppt slides. I did. All of a sudden, I noticed a missing QTRC 21 pix. I thot I deleted it, cos I couldn't rmb if its was originally there or not. Wong came down and asked how I was doing. So I conveniently asked him if he thot a pix was supposed to be there. He said yes. Oh gosh, I nearly fainted. Tried to find the pix from all the files, but to no avail. In the end,I called Sam and told him what happened. He told me he didn't put the pix yet. He asked why I wasn't eating cos it was lunch and told me not to worry cos I can always put my photo there. To think he could still joke when I was so worried here. I was so shocked and worried and anxious that I didnt feel hungry at all. But I felt so relieved that I almost cried. Dunno why, but i'm just so scared. Guess I'm still too young? Anyway, guess I was too worked up before, I actually felt exhausted. Stupid adrenaline overworked my nerve cells and brain cells. Heart muscles as well. When I went up and told Wong abt it, he said that he knew the pix wasn't there actually. Contradiction?

And I don't understand why Arthur's name spells nightmare. I always feel so stressed doing work for him. My mood was spoiled for the whole day. No smile at all. Raymund was so scared to trouble me to call Christine. Henry was afraid to use my PC as well. Big M didn't dare to crap too much. Too bad. Not bad actually.

Good thing was I met 1st sis this morn and I received my 1st salary from MOE for relief teaching! yeah!

Durian episode

Today someone from the company bought durians. The no.1 hated food in my list of hated food. Everybody was like asking me: "Hey Miss, aren't u eating?" And for the 20th time I was saying: "Oh, I don't like durians." I was still wondering if I haven't got a name. Fred came and asked whether I'm a S'porean cos he assumed that all S'poreans LOVE durians. Apparently, I proved him wrong. I felt bad, not showing face, esp when everyone invited me to join them, but I really can't force myself to stain my hands to eat sth that I don't like! Sigh. If only they had bought pizza, which I might still eat though its also in my list of don't-eat food.

The big M took a half-day leave today. Phew! Peace for half a day. I think so far, other than the 2bosses on level 3, the level 2 bosses are still ok.

Someone called me last nite. I should be angry with him for spreading some untrue stuff, but somehow I was 'softened' by his sincerity. But it was nth.

Received the DSTA email/letter today too. Was quite surprised to know that I actually made it thru the Prelim Interview by crapping, but I had a feeling that everyone was shortlisted and it wasn't a big deal. What kind of assessment can last for 3.5h? I don't know. Mystery will unravel on 08 Feb...

Sundays

I love Sundays. Cos I don't have to work, which also implies that I don't have to see that stupid M in the office, and also cos Sundays = Fruitful Days. Guess what, I bought another new shirt today! That means I have 2 tops for the 1st 2 days of CNY already. I'm not gonna let history repeat like last yr, when I couldn't find any nice CNY clothes at the very last min. Haha. still, I lack bottoms, heels and earrings.

Talk abt that stupid M really makes my blood boil! I really cant stand him. The fact that he's got nth to do does not render him eligible to pester me. Pple who know me well know that I get very serious when I'm doing my work and I make absolutely no effort to entertain any jokers who try to disturb me and make me entertain them while I'm doing my stuff. Had it not been my intention to be kind, I would have told him to just get lost and leave me alone. I'm not trying to be rude, but I guess this is what normal gals would do to irritating-&-having-nth-better-to-do guys. Its sad that he's working on the same Saturdays as I am, and this would mean that I have to see him 6 days a week on alternate weeks. I have half a good mind to swop. And its sadder to think that I have to see him again in less than 10 hrs time. My goodness.

Spoke to my SciCo junior just know and learned that there were only 7 new members forthe Chem dept from the new intake. They have yet to categorise them intoresearchand crystal growing, and yet I can foresee that less than 4 will belong to the latter. I understand how Esther really feels-being occupied with planning activities for both the seniors and the juniors. Bad thing abt being the head is that on one hand, the teacher will be telling you to organise activities for these and those, as if they are simple tasks. On the other hand, you have entirely no idea as to what to organise. Worst of all, its hard to get things going abt among ur peers, who don't feel like doing anything, without them feeling that you are ordering them to do sth. So there you have it. All I can do is to tellher to jia you. What can I do? I've been through that and i received no encouragement from my senior. Its very kind of me to offer my moral support. Haha.

All of a sudden, I'm reminded of how lousily I'll do for my A-levels. Sigh, feel like crying. What am I gonna do if I get no As? Nobody understands.

Changing the topic, my mind has been almost pre-occupied with that somebody ever since that some event ended. I don't know how I ended up having good impressions of that somebody when that somebody was just an acquiantance in my life. Somemore, we didn't even know each other well, neither had we spoken to each other for more than an hour in all. I sure hope that soon that somebody will be taken off my mind...

Audition + work

Went to some music company for an audition with XH aft work today. We weren't accepted, neither were we rejected. The producer wanted us to join their singing classes. And of cos, we rejected the 'offer'. Who wants to pay so much $$$ to learn singing at an unheard-of music company, performing at some unheard-of events? Not being a sourgrape here, but I think the main aim of that company is to get pple sign up for their singing classes. We weren't bad, neither are we sad or affected at all, cos we weren't really hopeful and serious in the first place. Life goes on. Haha.

Speaking abt work,there's this stupid uncle who's always so irritating in my office. I don'tknow why he always like to talk to me, perhaps cos I'm new, so its easier to brainwash me with all his "history & philosophy", but pls, I have work to do. Twice today I have been seen talking to him by 3rd floor Crystal. I didn't want to offend him, thats why I patronised him. But that doesn't mean he can talk to me till I can't eat my lunch, can't do my work. All he talks abt-all the time, is

• how capable he is thou he's only a Diploma holder,
• how he's got the trumph card cos he's directly employed by the biggest boss,
• how he's better than some other bosses (who's only a-lvl grads),
• how stupid his workers are,
• how he dislocated his arm 5 yrs ago and have yet to recover,
• how life was when he was still a consultant 18 yrs ago at a major firm,
• how he's been working smart and others have not, blah blah blah.

U think i would be interested? Somemore he speaks so softly, how can I-who's known to be quite deaf, hear him? I was like nodding my head, agreeing with him all the way thou I didn't really cared abt what he said. I couldn't hear him! What can I say? No point disagreeing with him anyway, cos that would only prompt him to say more so as to prove that what you said is WRONG and what he said was RIGHT.

Aside, the funny thing is that there were so many instances whereby i'm so free and have nothing to do AT ALL. Its either i've been too fast with my work (which I'm inclined to believe so, haha) or there's really nothing to be done or there's sth to be done, just that i'm missing them out. I don't know,but I feel like taking leave. So that i have more work to do when I get back and so that I won't have to see that stupid uncle.

1 week of work

My 88th post! What a nice number. Shall make this post a COLOURFUL one. Anyway, 1 week has passed. I don't know whether you call it fast, but I can't wait for Rosie to go and come, so that I can come and go. Haha. But first I'm wondering how I'm gonna survive w/o her for the next 3 mths. Tmr's Rosie's last day. Thou I'm getting used to the work routine, I still don't quite enjoy it, perhaps cos of the pple here. Its not that I don't get along with them, in the first place, this is a mind-your-own-business kinda workplace and there is an obvious age-gap. But anyway, the crux lies with the horrible dose of office politics.

Here goes:

Some of the 2nd floor pple dislike some of the 3rd floor pple and yet some of the 3rd floor pple like to come down and bother some of the 2nd floor pple, when they know that some of the 2nd floor pple don't like them.

When the boss is around, some of the 3rd floor pple suddenly become so busy and start running about the 3rd floor and the 2nd floor while some of the 2nd floor pple laugh at how some of the 3rd floor pple keep themselves seemingly busy.

One of the 3rd floor pple wrote a notice that says: "ISO Auidt-No Leave Allowed" on the 2nd floor whiteboard and some of the 2nd floor pple sneered and commented on that notice. One of the 2nd floor pple circled the wrong spelling and insisted on taking leave on that particular day, cos he said he couldn't understand the notice.

Some of 3rd floor pple like to come down to the 2nd floor and order some of the 2nd floor pple to do some work. Some of the 2nd floor pple entertained them, some made faces behind their backs, some argued with them, some complained when the order-ers left while some acted blur.

Interesting? I think the best way to survive is to...not bother. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil-in front of all these pple. By the way, guess which floor I belong to?

Rosie says I'll receive big red packets from the bosses during CNY. Best is to bring 2 Mandarin Oranges. But isn't it weird to appear, all of a sudden, in the bosses offices with 2 Mandarin Oranges, waiting for them to give me red packets? How shd I go abt doing that? I still have 1 month to think abt it. Haha. Maybe 1 day I should set a password to this blog. If not my head will roll if my office pple read this blog.

Fruitful day

I don't usually go out on rainy days, but this shopping trip I made with mum this aftn was really fruitful. Got myself a Nike jacket and a nice, new shirt and necklace to go with it. The jacket is supposed to be menswear, but I can't be bothered. I thot it looked great on a female-thats me, and I bought it. Who says gals can't wear guys jacket if it fits? Its $99.90. Haha. Less than $100 for a Nike jacket is a reasonable price. The shirt's from Isetan, just a normal red shirt for CNYSi, but with the necklace,the whole set looks nice. Haha. $13+$5. So I spent a lot, but I guess once in a while should be ok. Now I still lack new shoes, new mini-skirt and a set of new earrings. Gambate!

When I got home, I had nothing better to do, so I took this photo:




This was taken at my neighbours' doorsteps. I bet no one has ever seen as many shoes, other than in shoe shops. Haha. By the way, its not just the many pairs of shoes. Its the many brollys too.

Spot any shoes you like?

Tuition

My 1st tuition session for the yr!!! Haha, I'm the tutor, not the tutee. Taught Sec 2 Chem using my Sec 3 Pure Chem textbook. Huh? No lah, its just Hai Sing Catholic's syllabus. No mistake. Quite ok, except that I thot there were many things that we were supposed to know by the time we started using this textbook, but I forgot that he's only Sec 2. I think 1 less yr of General Sci is really very tough on the students, esp on their foundations. I'll just do my best. Luckily i still have my O-level TYS, so I can give him some practices.

Finallymet up withmy dear friendLam. Hadluch and had a short nice chat over lunch-Jap food. Haha. She bought me my fave-colour pens and also my fave-earrings!!! Thanks so much, Lam, really like them a lot. Haha. Meeting up with long-lost friends really feelgood. Like the other time when I met up with Jie Ling. All of a sudden If eel that ever since I've started working, I really miss the schooling days with all my friends, cos we are all alone in our own workplace. Really hope to meet up with everyone once we all receive our pay and have nice meal. Probably steamboat, so that we can celebrate CNY too. Haha. Looking forward...

On my own

Today-independence day! Haha, what rubbish. Rosie didn't come to work today, soI was on my own. Somehow, I just had endless work to do. to tell the truth, I only had abt 40% confidence in what I was doing. Its considered gd in the sense that its better than no confidence at all. Haha. I hate it when Arthur comes down. Whenever he comes down, it means work. Not that I don't have work to do when he isn't around, but its just that sudden work assigned can be stressful. When I couldn't find things or when something goes wrong, I panicked. But once again, thats only me. Didn't ans much phone calls today, so I guess tmr someone's gonna complain to Rosie abt that. But I can't be bothered cos I won't be there. Heh.

Some small things went wrong today. Don't know what, but its definitely not the case whereby all-went-smoothly. Calling Rosie was my last resort and I was forced to make abt 3 of them. And by the way, I have yet to master the skill of making outgoing calls. Anyway, wait till she sees what I did today. She'd prob flip. Haha. By then my confidence level may descend to 0. You nvr know.

I'm glad that I'm on leave tmr. Till now, I still find the pple there quite weird, and as usual, I don't dig weirdos. I was called up for relief teaching today, but couldn't go. If they call me for again tmr, I'd gladly oblige but that implies I'm not gonna have much sleep. Don't mind thou. I quite like teaching aft being tortured by data entry for 4days. If not, I promise to sleep till 1pm.

First day of work

I don't know why this website is in Chinese but theres no way I can revert it back to English, so I shall leave it alone. Haven't been using computer for a long time and I really mean COMPUTER cos my house is use laptop de. Anyway, 1st day of work is no fun. Many a times, I feel quite lost. And forgetful also, maybe cos I haven't been using my brain for a long time liao. But anyway, I should go bang my head against the wall for thinking that teaching is hard, cos its till now then I know, data entry is even harder. I'm afraid of making mistakes and the things all look so foreign to me. Delivery Orders, Pricing list, Cement, Beams, all sorts of things that I have never seen so often in my life as compared to the textbook stuff.

Now is lunchtime and some pple went out to eat. I didn't know that theres no canteen here. Luckily I so happened to buy a sausage bun this morning, so that was my lunch. Seriously, I'm hungry still. Nvm, diet! Haha. Tmr I shall bring lots of food to eat here. I don't care! So now can slack.

Rosie introduced lots of pple to me just now and frankly speaking, I can't rmb half their names. Haha. Still have 4.5h to go. Sigh. I don't know what I'm gonna do when Rosie isn't here next wk. Think I'll just die. So much unfamiliar work to do.

Teaching is fun-ner.
